Focus Groups
The city’s comprehensive plan focuses on all the systems that make your city run! From the homes where you live to the parks where you play and the roads you take to get there, we want to talk with you about how Danville can change and grow over the next 20 years.
A focus group is a gathering that brings together diverse individuals from our community to share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences regarding a specific topic or product. This supportive and inclusive environment values everyone’s input, which helps us to better understand and address the needs and preferences of our community members.
Retail
Retail in Danville is concentrated in shopping centers along main roads and downtown areas. Shopping centers have national brands, while downtown has local shops. Neighborhood strip centers cater to nearby residential communities for convenience shopping.
Jobs
Jobs should be accessible, offering fair wages, excellent working conditions, and growth prospects. In pursuit of inclusive economic growth, Danville should address disparities in business ownership and wages among demographic groups, dismantling long-standing barriers to full participation in the local and regional economy.
Housing
Housing should provide accessibility to amenities and be safe, healthy, and stable, promoting overall well-being. It should also facilitate easy access to daily activities by car, walking, or biking, offering diverse options in size, tenure, and affordability without exceeding 30% of income on housing costs.
Transportation
Transportation options must cater to diverse needs, ensuring convenient and safe access to daily destinations. Street design should prioritize pedestrian and cyclist safety, as they are more vulnerable to severe injuries in accidents.
Amenities
Amenities like schools, parks, health centers, and public spaces, such as the Danville Public Library, play a crucial role in residents’ lives and well-being. These resources must be easily and safely accessible to all, prioritizing those who need them most in the community.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure in Danville, VA is critical for its community’s well-being. The city invests in maintaining and improving roads, bridges, utilities, and public facilities to ensure safe and efficient transportation, reliable services, and a high quality of life for its residents.
